your setting for AuthUserFile is almost certainly wrong...you need to give it the path on the server (not the path as shown in your FTP account). if you're on a cpanel host, it'll be /home/user/.htpasswd...I dunno about other servers you can also specify the path relative to the .htaccess file...so for example it could be ../.htpasswd

i'm running at test server off of my computer (using the Apache tutorial), but more importantly .htaccess and .htpasswd are in the same folder, so i'm pretty sure i've got the coding right there. Any other ideas on what it might be?

How did you generate the .htpasswd file? Windows apache doesnt use the same flavour of encryption as the *nix ver.
